aefibird Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 I guess doesnt matter to the opponent getting hit, or you getting hit, what was color that had hit. ...no, but there is a reason for the red and the blue... Anyway, I'm gonna back up what some of the other members here have said and suggest that you talk with your instructor about it. If you don't need any sparring gear just yet or if you can borrow equipment from the school, then there isn't a great need for you to spend your hard earned $$$ buying your own.

47MartialMan Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Worry more about your technique before you go to competitions. Before you actually compete in a competition, go and watch the people in your division, if it is local, they are probably some of the people you will be going against in upcoming events, depending on how fast they go up in rank. I agree, gear color is a silly worry.
47MartialMan Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Thank you for the agreement. I agree because I had my first-timers (tournament) do this. It alleviated anxiety...stage fright, etc. Thank YOU for the post
TangSooGuy Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Well, I teach TSD, not TKD, so I don't know the rules for every specific tournament, but 'red' and 'blue' don't generally refer to the color of the gear you wear, in my experience... I allow mystudents to get whatever color gear they want. It really doesn't bother me.
